The style and latin legends of these tetradrachms distinguishes them from the well known tetradrachms struck in the Antiochian mints of Syria. Sydenham attributes them to a Caesarean mint in Cappadocia. Butcher proposes that these tetradrachms were minted in Caeesarea for use in Syria. Possibly the most infamous of the Roman Emperors, Nero ruled Rome from 54 AD until his death by his own hand in 68 AD. From murdering his mother and other political opponents to (according to rumour) starting the great fires of Rome, the stories about his reign paint a picture of a tyrannical and impulsive Emperor that the people of Rome were glad to see gone.

About Us

I am an enthusiastic collector of ancient coins. What you see on this website is my personal collection. Each coin is for sale as that allows me the flexibility to rotate my collection and learn about new coins. These coins once passed through many hands thousands of years ago when in general circulation. I like the idea of these coins continuing their journey from one collector to the next and enriching lives with a little bit of history.
